A light/moderate north-westerly, overcast conditions and temperatures of 11 degrees C. A Red-throated Diver flew north, a Little Egret moved south, one Whimbrel did the same, a Bonxie headed north and nine Sandwich Terns flew south. However, the seawatch highlight were two Bottle-nosed Dolphins that headed south.
Two Tufted Ducks, a Whimbrel, Common Sandpiper and three Dunlin were at Thornwick Pools, with a Short-eared Owl nearby and a Marsh Harrier overflew the village. Passerine migrants included four Spotted Flycatchers, single Tree Pipit, White Wagtail, Redstart and Garden Warbler. Three Jays were near Old Fall, the year’s first record of a less than annual visitor.
